No specific reason why Ryton couldn't be used Nick. The OP raises a fair point which I agree with and believe all options should be looked at - unfortunately it appears Anderson/CCFC aren't doing this.

There's no requirement for all the facilities to be on one site, so no reason why linking in with Coventry Sphinx couldn't be considered.

So as things stand Anderson is willing for the Academy to go to the wall and the basis of this - he's not received a letter! Is it any wonder the club is in the absolute shite state it is.

So what about the negotiations that took place for the current agreement? The flexibility that the Football League allowed for the set up to be rubber stamped. What's required isn't black and white. That's why meetings, discussion and negotiations are required.

Absolutely on the money CCFC.

From what he's saying if he were to be supplied with a letter saying we can offer XY&Z but he deemed A was also required then he wouldn't go to the meeting. As I said yesterday, it's not down to other to do all the leg work - the Sky Blue Trust have got off their arses and arranged the meeting...

Coventry City MD wants assurances before meeting over football club Academy's future Chris Anderson defends decision not to attend meeting about Academy's future at Alan Higgs Centre City’s Academy is currently category two, which attracts around £500,000 in grant funding, but there are strict...

Nope - nothing at all from Seppala, Anderson or Armstrong despite several follow up emails requesting confirmation of receipt and replies to the points raised.

You could always drop Anderson an email to confirm why he didn't attend? I'm aware you've got his contact details.

It's a shame Anderson and CCFC don't appear to hold the same position. If you want to move things forward you don't wait for everyone else to come to you with the information - you get hands on, you attend meetings, you engage with the fans, you rally support. What have CCFC actually done...

If Anderson had bothered his arse to go to the meeting he might have found out for himself.

The question is will the reason for Anderson non-attendance ever been known? CCFC haven't released a statement despite the info being in the public domain for two days. Cov Tel have, according to their article, requested a comment from Anderson but the lack of updated would suggest no reply...

He's also said that none of the other parties are willing to engage with CCFC. The person who knows 100% why he pulled the plug is Anderson - and I think the best route forward would be a statement confirming why being released by the club.

A quote lined up? So you don't think they were possibly contacted and offered the information at this point? The fact remains a meeting had been arranged with a view to move things forward - from the perspective of the Academy this was a step in the right direction. The whys and wherefores...

Surely the news was that a meeting had been arranged between the parties to try and move things forward?

Yep, the point of the meeting was for all the relevant parties to sit down and look towards finding a proposal to present to the FA was how it's been presented, especially with the clarification posts made by Jan throughout this thread.

Do you know what reason(s) Anderson gave for not attending the meeting?

I have no additional information than that within the public domain.

Indeed.

Because I think he comments and articles are hilarious.
